Does anyone know of anywhere I can find a list of all autolisp functions and summary or definition of their use, hopefully all on one page, no matter how gigantic...
I'm wanting something searchable. I've found a couple resources that list all the autolisp functions, but it'll be like a list of links on one page, and the definitions on the next sheet.
This is HORRIBLY backwards logic for someone trying to learn how to write their first complex routine. I know what I want to do, and how to do it, I just don't know the proper function names or formatting. If I knew the proper name, I wouldn't need the resource, now would I?
So I was hoping there would just be a massive list somewhere with the explanation on the same page, so I could just (ctrl+f) a few key words about what I'm trying to do, and sift through the results and find the function I need.
Am I barking up a wrong tree, here? I couldn't find anything in the Autocad help, nor google.

Some ambitious copying / pasting and you could make you own custom reference from the AutoLISP Reference that ships with AutoCAD.
A utility that would make that task easier is ClipMate (http://clipmate.com/) (I use said utility a lot).
Another might be to use Adobe Acrobat (and equivalents) to print the contents to one one file.

I will take a copy of what ever you come up with and I will buy the beer, If I ever get down your way. I am in the same boat as you.

Yes, that'll be a bit of copy/pasting, but not bad at all!!
I'll probably put together a little LSP reference WORD document with a link to the file.
..actually... scratch that... if you paste into MS Word... it automatically creates the hyperlinks to each bookmark in the file...
sweeeeeeeeet
thanks be to EM-PEE!!
I never knew of, or saw reference to, these files! Nor would I have known of them by their file name... because I had looked through the Autocad folders out of curiosity for anything with a name that looked like it might be lisp-related...
-
If anyone cares, this is just a .doc off each alphabetical page from the .chm file.
It may just make things easier, I dunno. I think I'm going to probably just be using the search function within the .chm file.

Your lack of page breaks disappoints me. :-( :wink:

yea I didn't waste my time with formatting since I wasn't going to use it. I figured if someone else wanted to use it, they could apply their own special format. Since the goal was simply to have a conglomerated mass of text that was CTRL-F'able (hehe F'able) then formatting wasn't important, since it won't be read in it's entirety, nor printed, but rather read one entity at a time (which I did make sure that a function and it's description was NOT split over a page break)
So nyah.

Here's one I made for Vim.

I didn't see this mentioned but I'm assuming you've typed VLIDE at the command prompt?

My favorite! (I use that one constantly!)

I was messing around in that thing and I can't say that I'm all that comfortable using it yet.
Every bit of coding/writing I've ever done, I've always been more comfortable with using notepad.
When I was into skinning applications graphically, adding any type of additional functions, I wanted pure, stripped down notepad.
When I was into HTML/CSS when I was dabbling with website design, I wanted stripped down notepad.
I feel more comfortable with the raw language there without all the extras, doodads, and complications.
When I'm more comfortable with the Autolisp language, I may jump ships to using that editor, but while I'm just learning to get comfortable with the language, I'd prefer stripped naked notepad.
Here's one I made for Vim.
Thanks so much, Mark!
I think I'm actually going to use this instead! Very thorough and quite a bit more information.

I knew I should have filtered my post more...
I meant the stripped-down file format of a .txt file as opposed to using something with more tools that can possibly add more formatting to the file.

Hey Matt can you stop using the profanity (Item 3 (http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=9202.0))?
While you and I may think it harmless there are those that may find it offensive and we wish to err on the side of polite.
Thanks.

This from Ron Leigh , who teach acad in a school at usa.
Edit by MP: Temporarilly removing file until it can be confirmed it's ok to be available to the public.
I ask him to allow me to spread it , and he did it so.
Sorry to say I can not prove it , but he used to post this course for free in his web page.
-
Forgive me DEVITG but I gotta ask -- do you have Ron's permission to post this?
Temporarilly removing it (will restore if ok).

Try NOTEPAD++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/uk/site.htm) or Crimson Editor (http://www.crimsoneditor.com/). Both have a lisp extensions that highlight paired parens and such.

I'll keep those in mind if I get lost in stupid parenthesis.

D. functions defined
more than 1 page though,

OOPS,
Sorry, a little late......I need to start reading ALL the posts from now on!!!

That's what was just pointed out to me, the specific .chm file. TBH I hadn't ever known of the "Developer Help" on the help menu. I've looked past it so many times going for something else, I guess it just gained invisibility in me.

I use the text version in vim when im programing, instead of the CHM, 'cause its faster for me.
-
When using the VLIDE , if I remember at least a part of the function , I use the apropos icon and get all function that contains such letters, then click on the help icon and get it , if exist .
-
I made the text version for working inside Vim using the built-in help function.
The screenshot is what you get if you do :he entget inside Vim.

I use the VLIDE, highlight word CNTRL+SHIFT+A:
